it's the president that runs foreign policy, not the attorney general. >> do you think politics was at play here, not wanting to do this before the election? >> that could have been. if that's the case it was a real dereliction of duty because the president's main job, above all, is to be commander in chief. if the attorney general kept essential information from him which i think prevents him from carrying out his job as commander in chief, the attorney general has failed terribly to carry out his job. if the president did find out about it and didn't act on it until after the election, that's equally wrong. if holder knew about it, the attorney general knew about it in september, i believe he had the absolute obligation to tell the president in fairness to the president what was happening. >> you're chairman of the house homeland security committee. based on what you know now, do you believe national security has been compromised in any way by this affair? the fbi says it hasn't. >> we don't know enough yet. the fact is that the investigation was going on, they didn't know at that ti

is this shaping the president's foreign policy, without him directing it? are there real effects to all of this, do you think, worldwide? >> at this point, no, i don't think that. and one of the reasons is that the foreign policy really, a lot of it comes directly from the white house. there is a lot of control by this administration over what the direction is. after all, the president is one who is in charge and secretary clinton certainly has been very much a part of creating some of that, and carrying it out. but i think you have to say that at this point to say that when she leaves or somebody else comes in that the policy changes -- no, don't think that will happen. >> all right, jill dougherty, coming to us from washington. thank you, appreciate it, jill. >>> happening right now, we're getting word the two snowboarders stranded on mount rainier in washington have been rescued. we're getting in live pictures. find out exactly what happened and how they were rescued. stay with us coming up. ♪... ♪... choose the perfect hotel how they'll live tomorro
